The real (and unspoken) problem is that the French smell bad. Nobody wants to sit in a meeting with them.

When the moonrock worshippers finally take over France, do we save them again?

How will we know that has happened? If we find out, will we be able to tell the difference? And if we find out, and can tell the difference, why would we care?

It's not their fault, when the rest of the world understands that only the french are alway correct and the rest of us are stupid and always wrong their attitudes will change.

Reminds me of a former co-worker from NY. For "fun", she'd deliberately crash her grocery cart into someone else's while shopping.

Anyhow, she did a temporary assignment in Paris, and complained how rude the Parisians were. Those in our old group who see each other now and then are STILL chuckling over that remark almost 15 years later!

When the man at the top says that capitalism is just as bad as communism, as le President de la Republique did, you know there's a problem.

France is really lost.

Someone should put a fork in it.

LOL! Perhaps a (loose) translation is in order:

Title: Hello, Laziness

Subtitle: "On the art and necessity of doing the least possible in business."

Is this for real???

There is a socialist woman who has been high lighted recently as a new leader.

Yup. A hare-brained Socialist has-been who makes Pelosi look like a pinnacle of wisdom.

The fact that the American MSMs latched on her does nothing to increase their credibility. Losers worshiping losers.
